Well, yes – if you trust the source. As mentioned, this is a hyphothetical example. Anyway, I won't change FreeType's behaviour. It will continue to return an error code if `NULL' is passed as an `FT_Face' object, and you are free to completely ignore the return value :-) Maybe the documentation can be improved; I'm open to all suggestions.
